I received "Pale Sketches" in the post yesterday. I haven't listened to it yet, but if the music is as beautiful as the artwork it's going to be something pretty special.

After two days of listening to "Pale Sketches", I can officially announce: It is brilliant. There is some really really beautiful music on there, in a Cocteau Twins kind of way. It doesn't actually sound like Cocteau Twins, but it has a similar sort of orchestral feel to it. To anyone who has listened to Jesu and even remotely liked it, I say: Buy this CD, and you will fall in love.

pale sketches, to me, presents a more trip hop influence on jesu, in addition to the dream pop and doom metal sounds.
a song is called "dummy", for corn's sake. |

A "friend" of mine once told me that if I already have most of Neurosis's releases (which I do) I shouldn't bother with Jesu... because they aren't doing anything that Neurosis hasn't already done better.
I guess I should stop listening to my friends. It's about time I checked these guys out. |

I've actually had several people tell me that Isis are Neurosis knockoffs... as well as reading the same in countless reviews. I do own a couple Isis releases, and have honestly not been able to get into them much. I'm gonna have to give Jesu the shot they apparently deserve, now that I know they aren't apeing Neurosis (who I love) or Isis (who I'm indifferent toward) or anyone else for that matter. |

Finally picked up Lifeline the other day and was pleased, but a little underwhelmed.
It's good, but it just sounds like throwaways from Conqueror, nothing special... ...and the track with Jarboe kinda got on my nerves a little. I doubt this one is going to get much replay. |

Yeah, Jesu and Neurosis are pretty far-off in sound. They both have guitars and play slowly at times. That's about it. And, for the record, Neurosis is a much better band in every respect. But Jesu is worth investigating.
Since this thread started, I think Jesu released 3 things. Ridiculous. Lifeline isn't very good, is it? I haven't heard Pale Sketches yet though I will real soon. That split with Eluvium also was quite boring. And he's coming out with ANOTHER split at the end of the year. I mean, Jesu are great, but dude needs to slow the fuck down, jesus... |

I have a couple of uncirculated Jesu shows so I'm thinking of starting a vine - anyone interested?

Justin Broadrick of Jesu/Godflesh fame has teamed up with Jarboe of Swans fame for a group dubbed J2. The pair recently inked a deal with The End Records for the release of their debut album which is expected out this spring.

I didn't particularly care for it.
I've never been a fan of Jarboe, and although i respect what she does, it's jsut not something that appeals to me. I'm starting to think that Broadrick is running out of steam... Lifeline was disappointing, and I really don't think a Jarboe colab album is going to win any points with me, but whatever... Do ya thang, potna. |
